Maybe a light tap with a hammer would help it out.

Recently I removed my alternator, and reinstalled it after it was rebuilt.
When I reomved that pulley I did the pound the bolt to move that bushing so it would slide up/out easier. Getting that bolt to reconnect... a PITA. Maybe slightly encourage the bushing in just enough so it doesn't get hung up on the mount.
I used a screwdriver... a piece of wood... and a pry bar... slowly the bolt seated. Patience, for me, was key. It finally connected.
Patience.
